We have recently added / upgraded many amenities including a fire pit, gas grill and hot tub. *

Dog, child friendly modern home located on bold, native trout stream with relaxing sounds from the waterfall and surrounding forests. Sit in front of the fireplace or enjoy breathtaking views and sounds of nature from the expansive deck furnished with multiple tables, chairs, a gas grill and a hot tub for six. This 4150 square-foot home sleeps up to fourteen comfortably and offers year-round appeal for a variety of guests, including fishermen, hunters, skiers, golfers, couples, family/group reunions and visitors traveling to FloydFest, Virginia Tech or Martinsville Speedway.

Located a short distance from Olde Mill Golf Resort, Primland Resort and Chateau Morrisette Winery and Restaurants. Situated near the New River in Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, this mountain retreat is only 15 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway at Meadows of Dan, Mabry Mill and Fancy Gap. Golf, swimming, boating, antiquing, winery tours and horseback riding are all within a few miles. Great areas for fishing, hiking and biking are available on site.


This mountain home is a perfect place for viewing fall foliage on the Blue Ridge Parkway, attending NASCAR races in Martinsville and exploring country and bluegrass music, local food, arts and crafts in Floyd. Located two hours from Boone and other ski resorts in North Carolina and less than 25 miles from Mount Airy (aka Mayberry), this home is a great base for visiting a host of scenic places. The Labor Day Flea Market in Hillsville every September is the largest in the U.S. and the Fiddlers Convention in Galax held every August is the oldest and largest in the U.S. Primland Resort, Chateau Morrisette Winery and the restaurant at the Olde Mill Golf Resort offer fine dining experiences within a radius of at least 10 miles from the property.

** Pets welcome (dogs only, 2 dogs maximum, with $100 pet fee per dog). **

** NOTE ABOUT THE DRIVEWAY TO OUR HOME: our gravel driveway from the paved road to our home has some curvy and steep sections, as is normal in the mountains. There are "speed bumps" that help with water run-off and driveway erosion during storms. SUVs, trucks, and higher clearance vehicles have no issues. Low clearance sedans (as some members of our team drive) or sports cars may rub on the speed bumps, so crossing at an angle and / or near the ends should help. Even without 4WD you will be fine, put your car in Low and go slow if needed. **

Nice weekend in the mountains

What a wonderful lodge
Our stay at Kim and Andys lodge was everything we could ask for in a vacation rental. The location has a beautiful view from the hot tub. It was not too far from town to get groceries. The space fit our large party for an unofficial college reunion and it is unanimous that this lodge would be a contender for another group vacation.

Lovely Getaway
My family really enjoyed being able to get away from the city and avoid the spring break crowds. The cabin was clean, spacious and beautiful. We did lose power one day due to a really bad storm but we made the best of it with the provided oil lanterns and candles and spent the evening playing games with our kids. Thank you for a lovely retreat.

Wonderful retreat from the world!
We so enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The house is spacious, well appointed, and clean. The deck is beautiful and soaking in the hot tub in the evening is heaven! The cabin is isolated, so if you're going to be doing any gourmet cooking, bring any fancy ingredients with you - the nearest grocery store is small and not close (there is a larger Food Lion about 30min away). Kim and Andy are great hosts - very responsive and helpful. Recommend highly!
